BRIGHT WINTER COLOUR GUIDE

BRIGHT & COOL

Undertone

BRIGHT WINTERs have cool blue undertones with their features. Their overall appearance is bright and cool.

Contrast

There is a HIGH CONTRAST between your skin, eyes, and hair. Your sparkling eyes contrast with your skin and dark hair. Regardless of the colour, there is always high contrast between the iris and the whites of the eyes.

Skin

Your skin has neutral or neutral-cool undertones and may have a translucent quality. It ranges from fair to deep. You may have freckles. According to the metal test, Silver flatters you more than Gold.

BRIGHT WINTERS

COMPARISON

Bright Winter sits on the seasonal flow chart between True Winter and Bright Spring. They have the coolness of Winter and are influenced by the brightness of Spring. Bright Winter colours are the brightest in the Winter family. They are cooler, lighter, and brighter than Dark Winters and more intense, lighter, and warmer than True Winters.

Neighbouring the Bright Spring, according to flow theory, makes the Bright Winter palette warmer, brighter and lighter than other Winters.

Bright Winters and Bright Springs have bright colouring and high contrast in their features, but Bright Winters have a somewhat higher level of contrast than Bright Springs.

Bright Winters have cool (blue) undertones, whereas Bright Springs have warm (golden, yellow) undertones. Also, their colours are slightly darker than Bright Spring colours.

Technically you can create colour combinations by mixing and matching colours in your colour palette. You can combine your accent colours with your basic colours or dark or light neutral colours.

Bright Winter is a sub-season with the highest level of contrast; therefore, you can pull off colour combinations that would look bright and strong. Complementary, triadic and tetradic colour combinations would suit you the best. They provide high contrast because they are on the colour wheel's opposite side or far apart. They appear brighter and more prominent and create a bold and vibrant look.

For triadic and tetradic combinations, it’s better to use one dominant colour and the others as accent colours to balance your look. You can also pair dark and light colours to create contrast.

Other than pairing black and white alone, you can add another bright colour to increase the intensity. Avoid using black as a dominant colour because you have a Spring element in your colouring which needs light and bright colours.

PATTERNS&PRINTS

Bright Winters have many bright and vibrant colours on their colour plate. Therefore, there are many colourful pattern options available for your taste. Patters should contain only bright winter colours and have high contrast so that they can harmonize with your natural look.

Medium to large-scale patterns and prints would pop up the bright colours. Avoid faded colours and blended or minimal patterns; use bold, geometric, and abstract designs instead. If you like floral patterns, choose the ones on a big scale with bright colours.

MAKE-UP COLOURS

Foundation&Concealer

Your skin tone is cool with pink undertones; it appears bright and clear. Skin colour-matching foundations and concealers would keep your skin tone as brilliant as it is. 

Blush

Your blush colours are pink and cool red; avoid orange, warm red, peach tones, and dark colours. 

Lipstick

You can enjoy bright, bold, glossy lipstick colours, they will align with your natural brightness but try to keep the same intensity with your eye makeup and lipstick colours.

Eye shadows

Your bright colour eyes contrast with your cool skin tone. Therefore, you should choose light and bright colours for your eye makeup. 

Eyeliner&Mascara

You also have the option to choose bright eyeliners instead of darker ones. For mascara, we recommend you choose black tones.

Nail Polish

Every Season has its own iconic notes and scents

Rich, bold, gourmand fragrances, oriental scents and exotic notes are best for Winters, such as amber, cinnamon, musk, caramel, vanilla, pomegranate, honey, tonka bean and black pepper. Some woody notes such as cedar, sandalwood, cardamom and patchouli with a black rose and vanilla mix are also their best choices.
